In remarkable and impactful ways, The St. Regis Abu Dhabi recently tripled its efforts to doing good in every direction. To start, the property baked a huge difference. Proceeds from the sales of its Catchamisu – a signature dessert of the hotel restaurant Catch – were entirely donated to charity. Since then, the hotel has supported additional good causes, creating an even greater difference in the local community.

The hotel raised funds that went toward toys for children receiving care in the cancer ward at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical Center, as well as an Otoscope used by Operation Smile UAE on their patients with cleft palates.

The Services for Educational Development, Research and Awareness (SEDRA) Foundation for Inclusion was gifted a laptop, granting young adults access to the hotel’s online trainings and introducing them to the career path of hospitality. These virtual sessions cover everything from table setting and folding laundry to effective communications and other essential life skills.

The St. Regis Abu Dhabi’s efforts are an example of Marriott International’s commitment to Nurture Our World and Empower Through Opportunity, an integral part of Serve 360, the company’s sustainability and social impact platform.
